The recommended addition level is 3 percent for gauges less than 100 micron and 2 percent for gauges greater than 100 micron. However, care must be taken when added to very high slip film grades, as both slip (Erucamide or Oleamide) and the antistatic additive (an ethoxylated amine) are surface migratory and their combination on the surface of the film could result in problems with treatment, sealing, printing etc... The maximum level of addition of MB6003 based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 4 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any other additives.

It is formulated with slip additive (Erucamide) at a concentration of 8 percent and antiblock additive at a concentration of 25 percent. ALKAMIX MB6005 can be added to linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) during extrusion to reduce film blocking and coefficient of friction. The level required will vary according to desired properties and presence of any other additives, however the recommended addition level is between 1 and 2 percent. The maximum level of addition of MB6005 based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 2.5 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any other additives.

ALKAMIX MB6006 is a processing aid masterbatch based on a fluoropolymer compound at a concentration of 5 percent. ALKAMIX MB6006 can be added to linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) during extrusion to eliminate melt fracture (Sharkskin) type extrusion defects. The level required will vary according to extrusion equipment and type of LLDPE being used, however the recommended addition level is between 1 and 2 percent. ALKAMIX MB6006 is compatible with the process aid used in Alkatuff film polymers. The maximum level of addition of MB6006 based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 5 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any other additives.

ALKAMIX MB6007 is a slip masterbatch formulated with Oleamide at a concentration of 1.1 percent. ALKAMIX MB6007 can be added to polyethylene during extrusion to reduce the coefficient of friction. The level required will vary according to coefficient of friction desired; gauge of film and other factors such as the presence of other additives (including antiblocks, colourants / pigments, etc...). The maximum level of addition of MB6007 based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 15 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any slip additives.

Antioxidant masterbatch based on BHT to be used when shutting down extrusion lines.

ALKAMIX MB6009 is formulated with an antiblock additive at a concentration of 15 percent. ALKAMIX MB6009 can be added to polythene during extrusion to reduce the blocking tendency of film, particularly where minimum blocking tendency is required. The level required may vary according to desired properties, however the recommended addition level is between 1 to 3 percent. The maximum level of addition of ALKAMIX MB6009 based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 6.5 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any antiblock additives.

ALKAMIX MB6010 is a processing aid masterbatch based on a fluoropolymer compound at a concentration of 10 percent. ALKAMIX MB6010 can be added to linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) during extrusion to eliminate melt fracture (Sharkskin) type extrusion defects. The level required will vary according to extrusion equipment and type of LLDPE being used, however the recommended addition level is between 0.5 and 1 percent. ALKAMIX MB6010 is compatible with the process aid used in Alkatuff film polymers. The maximum level of addition of MB6010 based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 2.5 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any other additives.

UV stabilised masterbatch.

SAMBA is a slip masterbatch formulated with Erucamide at a concentration of 2 percent. SAMBA can be added to polyethylene during extrusion to reduce the coefficient of friction of films. The level required will vary according to coefficient of friction desired; gauge of film, polymer type (LLDPE, LDPE, etc..) and other factors such as the presence of other additives (including antiblocks, colourants / pigments, etc...). For injection moulded articles, typical addition rates of SAMBA would be 2.0% due to the thickness of the moulded article. Higher addition rates of SAMBA may result in problems with printing or label adhesion, or possibly warpage. The maximum level of addition of SAMBA based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 10 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any slip additives.

ALKAMIX UHSMB is a combined slip and antiblock masterbatch based on a low density polyethylene carrier. It is formulated with slip additive (Erucamide) at a concentration of 1.6 percent and antiblock additive at a concentration of 9 percent. ALKAMIX MBUHSMB can be added to low dnsity polyethylene (LDPE) or linear low density polyethylene during extrusion to reduce film blocking and coefficient of friction. The level required will vary according to desired properties and presence of any other additives, however the recommended addition level is 2% to LDPE and 5% to LLPDE. The maximum level of addition of UHSMB based on both good manufacturing practice and to ensure conformance to the requirements to the United States Food and Drug Administration Regulations CFR21 is 12.5 percent, when added to a polyethylene formulation free of any other additives.
